Maruti Suzuki India continues to post good sales numbers. Earlier today, it announced its November 2015 domestic sales which at 110,599 units are a 10.6 percent rise over the year ago figures (November 2014: 100,024). However, compared to the company’s handsome 24.7 percent year-on-year growth in October 2015 with sales of 121,063 units, November sales seem slightly muted albeit Diwali sales had much to contribute to that high number.
While demand for the entry level Alto and Wagon R hatchback dipped last month to 35,981 units, down 4.7 percent year on year (November 2014: 37,746), Maruti’s compact cars (Swift, Celerio, Baleno, Dzire and Ritz) saw sales of 44,626 units, a good 19.5 percent increase (November 2014: 37,339). The Dzire Tour cab also saw good numbers of 3,363 units, up 69 percent (November 2014: 1,989). The carmaker also saw sales of its UVs (Ertiga, S-Cross and Gypsy) rise – 8,688 units in November 2015, up 57.5 percent. Sales of the Omni and Eeco vans however seem to have slowed last month, with sales of 12,432 units, 1.8 percent (November 2014: 12,203).
On the export front, Maruti Suzuki shipped 10,225 cars, up a marginal 1 percent (November 2014: 10,123).
